One of the best yoga classes I have ever taken. The instructor, Ellen, was informative, fun, incredibly helpful with new methods and tips, highly skilled but also super down to earth. Her class pushed me farther than I have gone in my yoga practice, but was delightful! The other students were also very welcoming which isn't always common in smaller boutique fitness studios. All around truly added to my love of Ojai. The $30 weekend pass is so worth it! This will be my yoga home from here on out when I visit Ojai. read more

Finally found the right yoga fit in Ojai! Fabulous space, but best of all, the teachers. Ellen Bain is a wonderful teacher, and a great founder/curator. Each of her teachers has a fabulous flow - their systems are mostly vinyasa based, along with varying degrees of heat. Ellen is an acolyte of Baron Baptiste. The space is elegant, Zen, intimate, and the opposite of Bikram's militant uber gym vibe. Great sequences, lovely space, excellent teachers make this the best yoga for us! read more

I have been taking the Tuesday and Thursday evening Foundation Training classes for the past two weeks. I don't want to sound hyperbolic, or get ahead of myself, but it has the potential to be life changing for me. I've long suffered with neck and back pain, and in just this short time I've noticed a difference in my posture, alleviating pressure and pain. Instructor Kirby is a delight: knowledge, friendly, and very effective at cuing the postures. The studio itself is lovely: clean and minimalist. I can't recommend this new studio highly enough! read more

I had the great honor and pleasure of attending the first class of the New Year, led by studio owner and expert teacher Ellen Bain. What a gift to start 2018 with her knowledgeable sequence, strong encouragement, optimistic outlook, spot-on adjustments, and communal love for all levels of practitioners in the room. The studio space has a great vibe - modern, clean, sweet, and warm. And as a visitor to town, everyone there was super friendly and welcoming. Peak Power certainly delivers a peak yoga experience! read more

We had a fun and hard but rewarding workout with Ellen on our weekend visit to Ojai. Highly recommend!

As an aging athlete and yoga skeptic, I was a little hesitant about attending a class when a friend told me about it, but going to Peak Power has been a wonderful experience. The classes are geared to all levels of yoga practitioner, from me, a beginner, to the most experienced students. The instructors are patient and encouraging, and I especially appreciate the studio's motto: a pose for every body. This is a welcoming place to both locals and people passing through Ojai and I highly recommend it! read more

My girlfriend and I dropped in while visiting. We booked an intro class, which was a great opportunity to work on the basics again. Great to see new students joining and learning in a positive environment. Great instruction from the top down. Thanks for providing a space for practice in Ojai. read more

What a warm and friendly Ojai welcome we received at this wonderful, intimate hot yoga studio! The teachers are fantastic and so nurturing. I joined a few months ago just after the big Californian Thomas Fire and found great comfort in meeting and sharing yoga practice with such a compassionate community of lovely women. The yoga classes are wonderfully varied so you have a good choice of either pushing it harder with beautiful hot, sweaty, twisty Power 45 or 60 minute yoga classes or chilling back with their aptly named, Slow Flow yoga class followed by a short meditation. There are also Foundation classes called Foundation Flow or Foundation Training, which are short 20 minute classes that really help with body alignment and getting your poses more under control. They really are a perfect top up after a yoga class to learn to stretch it out even further. I am convinced these classes are stretching me to make me taller! It's easy peasy if you want to do a drop-in class as a visitor, pretty admin-free, pop in, hire a mat, fill up with the distilled water on tap, sink in and enjoy! You'll certainly be made to feel very welcome as a visitor. I am from another country and am so touched and appreciative of the warmth and friendliness I enjoy here. I especially love the warm humor, infectious enthusiasm and the sincere sense of community at Peak Power studio which I am sure stems from the wonderful inspiring yoga teacher, Ellen Bain, who owns this studio. Ellen also runs fun hand-stand workshops and great fund-raising community events in Ojai and networks us as yogis with the health and wellness community whether with other wonderful healers like ayurvedic lifestyle coaches like Kellen Brugman or local holistic nutritionists. So if you decide to join Peak Power you get a really wholesome, healthy, community "in" to Ojai! Thank-you guys for creating such an awesome yoga studio that is truly more than simply a yoga studio, it's a warm haven for us engage deeper within ourselves and to engage deeper with others. read more

I live in LA and come to Ojai as often as possible. This was my first time at Peak Power and I absolutely loved it. The team was very welcoming and it's a great space, the class is perfectly hot and it was a fabulous flow class. I went several times to Ellen and Susie's classes and can't way enough positive things about the experience. I've never tried Foundation Yoga and recommend for anyone trying to improve their posture and alignment. Thanks for everything Peak Power. I will be back. read more

This place is great! Had a strong, sweaty practice here when my wife and I were on vacation staying at the Ojai Valley Inn. Ellen's class was challenging, fun, light hearted and was just what we needed from all of the great food and wine we had been indulging in all week. Definitely recommend this place for both in and out of towners and we will for sure go back when we are back in Ojai. read more

Incredible Baptiste yoga class! Was in town visiting for the weekend, and found this place conveniently located right downtown. Ellen is an amazing instructor- the class she taught was challenging and hit all the right notes. Highly recommend checking this place out. read more

Molly and Ellen are rad humans and excellent yoga instructors. This is a studio that feels warm (literally and figuratively!) and welcoming to everyone. Highly recommended for power yogis and anyone who wants to become a power yogi. Leave your ego at the door but don't leave your towel and water. You're going to be a sweaty mess, and you WILL feel a difference in your mind and body immediately. I'm so glad to have found these ladies and this studio and all the cool peeps that they (and it) attract. read more

So happy to have discovered Peak Power Yoga & Wellness when recently visiting Ojai, ran by the wonderful Ellen Bain. I had been looking for a power yoga class in Ojai as I often take trips up there to escape the LA madness and finally.....here it is! The first hot yoga studio in Ojai! Ellen also has Foundation Training classes (again something new to Oaji), which I loved and my body felt amazing after. Ellen herself is a bright sparkle of sunshine whose passion for yoga and well-being is immediately apparent. She makes you feel at ease whether you are a first-time student or seasoned yogi. She has equally fantastic teachers. I cannot recommend Peak Power Yoga and Wellness enough and look forward to returning when I am next in Ojai. A big thanks to Ellen for her warm and inspiring attitude. read more

Awesome place. Convenient to everything, great crowd and friendly atmosphere. Awesome heated power yoga and foundation training. Such a great experience in comparison to some of the ridiculous LA Studios I've been to. None of the attitude and competition. What yoga is supposed to be: restorative yet calming. Will be back when in town. read more

I have to begin by saying I am so excited that Ojai has finally gotten a heated power yoga studio. I have been waiting for something like this to open and Peak Power delivers just what I wanted - power yoga, heated studio, a good workout, all at a good price. Ellen is a great teacher and makes you feel very comfortable yet pushes you to challenge yourself. I absolutely recommend this studio for anyone looking for a great yoga class! read more

This yoga studio deserves all five of the stars. I've never felt more comfortable and welcome as a new student of yoga and foundation training (FT). The studio design is simple and contemporary vs. a crowded feel in others I've tried. I like how the classes are interactive, but in a non-distracting way. I love receiving the weekly newsletter and have even tried one of the free Saturday morning hikes with the owner, Ellen Bain. Overall, a great yoga/FT find in Ojai and there's no need to look further! read more

I had an amazing experience at Peak Power Yoga last Saturday. I came from out of town to take Jen Pastiloff's workshop, which is life changing. The studio was very welcoming and accommodating, fitting a lot of women in their studio so we could all enjoy Jen's rich class. They held the class for me and didn't make me pay until I was sure I could secure a hotel. The studio was very clean and had great energy. I'm hoping to come back soon. read more

I took a break from yoga and was a bit nervous to go back to class. I took the Foundation Flo with Ellen and I'm hooked again! No need to worry that you can't keep up or may not have the strength. Ellen is an excellent instructor who made the class enjoyable, easy to follow and empowering. I felt exhilarated leaving and can't wait for more. You need to check out this new studio (it's hot yoga) and definitely take a class from Ellen. read more
